Photo: Crispy-Skinned Chicken a l'Orange Recipe
Ingredients
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 skin-on bone-in chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
- 4 tablespoons honey
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Liberally salt and pepper the chicken breast halves. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken, skin side only, until brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the orange glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the orange juice concentrate, honey, and salt and pepper, to taste, over medium heat, and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Turn the chicken over and brush each piece with the glaze. Turn the chicken skin side up and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 to 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, brushing on more glaze halfway through, about 15 minutes in total. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Remove the chicken breast from the bone and slice the meat on the bias. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve.

Melissa, my apologies for EVER having doubted your talents! After the super stuffed pork loin I served for Christmas, I immediately looked to you for a chicken recipe in a pinch. Once again, I came shining through with this recipe. My guests insist I must make it again! Thank you, thank you for making ME the star!

This is the easiest chicken recipe I would be proud to serve! My boyfriend was just wishing I had made more! Works well with breasts or thighs, and I did the whole thing on the stove in a cast-iron dutch oven the second time around, so easy! You have to try this one!!! My only suggestion is to add siracha to give the sweet/sour a little kick-it's a staple in my kitchen!
